I reclaim everybody's **right to #hate anything and anyone, and to publicly say so**.

#Hatred (like love, scepticism, or indifference) is a private feeling which can't, and shouldn't, be regulated.

I can't understand how #HateSpeech even became a thing. People express strong contempt for other people, for ideas, for groups, and for institutions all the time: against capitalism, communism, billionaires, Trump, the fossil fuel industry, whites, men, black, children, scientists, vaccines, theists, atheists, social media. Only the flimsiest of intellectual criteria justify polite society's indifference towards (or even approval of!) most of those expressions of #speech, and hyperbolic outrage towards others.

_Hating_ is not the same as _hurting_ nor _threatening_ to hurt. As always, it is **physical violence** (pardon the tautology), **calls** to violence, or credible **threats** of violence, what counts — and only that.

The polity doesn't require that we align all our _feelings_ — only some of our _actions_. That's the spirit of a just #law.

Of course I'm kidding (never better said): I enjoy this phase a lot, and feel so happy to watch my two-year-old #daughter and my #newborn #son and my #wife together at #home. In spite of all the sleep deprivation and the lack of time for anything else :)

Raising two small #kids is an **emotional roller coaster**: some days you feel overwhelmed and feel the temptation to run away or to kill everyone — and other days it's bad.

«Contra la concesión de #indultos a los condenados por sedición en Cataluña, en apoyo al Poder Judicial, atacado por el Gobierno Sánchez, y en defensa de la igualdad ante la ley de todos los españoles, sin excepción.

Consideramos muy graves los ataques del Gobierno y de los partidos que lo apoyan -incluidos los separatistas empeñados en destruir la Nación-, a la división de poderes y a la igualdad ante la ley, indispensables en cualquier verdadera democracia. Vemos con alarma el progresivo desmantelamiento de funciones del Estado, reducido a mero soporte de un Gobierno irresponsable y sectario que pretende suspender la Constitución por la vía de los hechos consumados.

No pensamos tolerar pasivamente la conversión del chantaje en procedimiento político “normal”, como sucedería con la concesión de indultos a golpistas condenados que han manifestado su intención expresa de reincidir, burlando expresamente los informes contrarios del Tribunal Supremo y de la Fiscalía del Estado. Esos indultos no tienen otro propósito que conservar la mayoría parlamentaria para mantenerse en La Moncloa a cualquier precio.

Rechazamos la “normalización” de la injusticia, del vaciado de la Constitución y de los ataques a la unidad de la nación española y al Estado de derecho. Por todas estas razones, creemos llegada la hora de que la sociedad civil salga a la calle a manifestar su rechazo de la deriva política antidemocrática impuesta por quienes tienen la obligación de defender la Constitución y unión de la Nación española.»

Hypothetical #news about #BTC adoption by some country, sorted by decreasing desirability wrt #crypto PR and its potential:

* **Best**: any of the 23 [liberal democratic countries in the world](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy_Index#By_regime_type) officially embraces Bitcoin.
* **Good**: BTC is used in day-to-day life, and from the bottom up, by a significant portion of the citizens of any of those 23 countries.
* **Bad**: any of the 92 non-democratic countries in the world officially embraces Bitcoin. (Yes, this is #ElSalvador.)

I must be among the very few people who make an active effort to _remove_ existing #LinkedIn connections on a regular basis.

**12.** Only the last 9 collections are available; older ones are hidden and inaccessible.
